Desperate to find her sister, Erin goes to the only man in Houston who can help her—Ivan Markovic. The intimidating, tattooed Russian operates one of the most elite mixed-martial arts training centers in the world, but it's his shadowy past and reputed connections with Houston's underworld that interest her most.

Of the 30 million who fought in the eastern front of World War II, 8 million died, driven forward in suicidal charges, shattered by German shells and tanks. They were the men and women of the Red Army, a ragtag mass of soldiers who confronted Europe's most lethal fighting force and by 1945 had defeated it.

We know something about how the soldiers died, but nearly nothing about how they lived, how they saw the world, or why they fought.

In queste pagine Federico Fubini e Ivan Krastev riflettono sul grande rischio che corre quell'impero diviso che è oggi l'Unione europea: spaccato fra ricchi e poveri, fra sicuri e insicuri, orientali e occidentali, meridionali e nordici.

Tasked with escorting Lavinia back to the land of her birth, Ivan pledges his heart along with his protection. He’ll have his mark upon her within days.
